Well we have had both.
Our first was a 2012 preowned NL 10-2 CDSE. Absolutely hated the Heki skylight. Not a fan of the Dometic windows either. Fragile. Prone to failure and causing a significant inconvenience during a trip. Nice unit and well made otherwise.
After two years we decided we would try a unit with a slide. Picked a 2016 AF 990. Like the slide but I can tell we picked up weight...for sure. I don't regret our purchase of a slide or the AF choice.
We have a dually and installed stable loads and air bags. Put air bags on after we bought the AF. It made a world of difference. It handles better now than it did with the lighter weight NL.
Would I by an AF if was not going with a slide? More than likely. We considered Adventurer, Eagle Cap, Lance, and Northstar. I would give a Northstar a serious consideration if I could get it without the Heki skylight. I could live with the dometic windows.
